Onebag V4 2024
Updated on 2024.12.31
In 2021, I was inspired to get rid of most of my personal possessions and attempt live out of a backpack for the foreseeable future. Below is a list of the main possessions that I use on a daily basis. I plan to keep the number of things that I own within the confines of my bag regardless of my location. This will help me be more intentional about the things that I own or want to purchase in the future.I update this page every year noting the things that have changed and the things that have stayed the same. This also helps me focus on the important parts of my life.

Bags
Spec Ops T.H.E Pack: Bought secondhand for a great price. This bag is listed at 37 liters but I use it Going with the tactical look. I love that it doesn't have an external logo. Also has a yellow interior which reminds me of my Synapse. The compression straps are what I really like using. I like that I can cinch them down when it's not full. I also like having extra space when needed and not feeling restricted.
Goruck Shadow Pocket: Still using this as my dopp kit. Love the simplicity.
Tech
2018 Macbook Pro 15 inch: Still using this computer. Recently the battery has degraded to where I have to keep it plugged in all the time. 2025 will most likely be the year of upgrades.
Ipad Pro 11-inch 3rd Gen: Great for note-taking and drawing as well as content consuming. Love using it as an external monitor when needed.
Iphone 13 Mini: Still using the Iphone 13 mini. It's definitely slower now. Wish it had a longer battery life. Due for an upgrade.
Apple Airpods Pro 2: Realized I left them out of the picture because I was wearing them. They are irreplaceable at this point. Probably my most used item other than my iphone. Love the noise canceling and sound quality.
Apple Magic Keyboard V2: Really like this keyboard still I use it with my laptop stand to have a more elevated setup. Since the keyboard on my macbook is malfunctioning, this has really helped this year.
Logitech G305 Wireless Mouse: Bought a replacement for my my G305 that broke 2 years ago. Still love this mouse for its portability and its ability to run off of a single AA battery.
VRURC 10000mAh Portable Charger: Has built in USB-C, Micro USB, and lightning cables for charging. Has come in handy many times since my iPhone 13 mini has a limited battery life. Also can plug directly into the wall to charge which is a neat feature.
WD Passport External Hard Drive 1TB: This thing is old. I'm really worried that it is going to stop working so It is definitely due for an upgrade.
Roost Laptop Stand V1: Not a machine but it is by far the item that has sparked the most questions when working in public. Still works like a champ. Might try the V3 to see if it fits my needs better.
Garments
Department Store Hoodie: Got this a while when I was shopping and it has held up great. I wish that the material was thinner which would make it more versatile and packable. Does the job though.
Gildan Men's V-Neck Stretch T-Shirt: These shirts are a replacement for the Jockey T-shirts. I like the feeling and fit so far. 2025 will be the test if I like them or not.
Darn Tough Socks: The ankle version. These are hands down the best socks that I have ever used. I'm really hard on footwear and these things take daily abuse with ease.
Jockey Boxer Briefs: Love the spandex material in these. Been using this style for many years. I'm picky about underwear so not sure what will knock these off the list.
GINGTTO Men's Skinny Stretch Jeans Slim Fit: I'm a big fan of skinny jeans. The super stretchy kind. I hate feeling restricted by clothing. These are decent jeans but the only problem with them is that I have to replace them every 6 months due to a hole forming in the groin area. Still searching for a more durable pair.
Baeleaf 5” Workout Shorts: Use these for exercise. Have enough to last a week's worth of workouts. Very lightweight and breathable.
JCrew Navy Board Shorts: Still using these as my swimsuit. Love the stretch in them. They are barely pretty worn out now so looking for a replacement.
THENX Workout Pants: Very nice joggers to wear lounging around. Looking for a thinner pair.
New Balance Minimus Shoes: Still using the same pair from 2019. Love these shoes. They're lightweight and durable. I hope they last another year as I think they're discontinued. On their last limb. I will have to get new shoes in 2025.
Toiletries
Oral B Electric Toothbrush: My Quip finally died on me so I had too replace it with this one. I like the physical buttons on this one vs the buttons on the quip.
Old Spice Deodorant: Don't have Aqua Reef in travel size.
Hair Gel: Göt2b
Crest 3D Whitening Toothpaste: I find that I like using the same scent of toothpaste for a long time.
Tongue Scraper: The absolute best cure for bad breath.
Contacts: For vision.
Floss Picks: Makes daily flossing a breeze.
Unclassified
Ray Ban Classic Tortoise: Love the polarized glass sepia lenses. I've had these for a long time.
Surefire Sidekick: Great Keychain light. Always have it on me. I only use this now since having 2 flashlights is overkill.
Nite Ize DoohicKey: Trying this instead of my swisstool. It's much lighter but I still miss my multitool.
Rite in the Rain Notebook: Replaced my molskine notebook. I like the spiral bound layout and weatherproofing but I'm not sure I'm a fan of the waxy paper.
Bic Ballpoint pen: Cheap and easy to replace since I lost my Fisher Space pen.
Deleted
Victorinox Swisstool Spirit MX Clip: Since I can't fly with it, I had to let it go.
Molskine notebook: replaced with Rite in the Rain notebook.
Department Store Travel Umbrella: I don't encounter rain where I travel as much so I decided to get rid of it. If it rains then I just find shelter nearby.
